Making my posts

Making My Posts 

In order to display my gown i have made my own gold posts to go around my outfit 

i was going to buy four of there bass posts to go around the outside of my exhibit, but they would have cost £46 each post, where i was able to make my own posts for £36 for the set.

In order to make my posts i used:

•  2 sheets of MDF 
• plastic tube
• wood
• wooden deck balls
• primer
• gold spray paint
• curtain hooks 

How I did  I make my posts?

first I marked and cut out the bases for my posts to stand on. (1)

then  I cut the posts/plastic tube to the correct height for my design and put blocks of wood inside the tube s that i had something to screw the base and the ball into.

i then sanded the discs i had cut for the base of my posts. (2)

i them went on to screw all of it together, screwing the deck ball onto the top and the bases to the opposite end. (3) 

t then panted the completed posts with 2 coats of primer.

and the sprayed them with gold spray paint.
